Introduction
Weakness and soreness on one side of the body may result from poor habits, autonomic nervous system dysfunction, atherosclerosis, or other causes. Targeted treatments should be selected according to specific conditions. In addition, weakness and soreness on one side of the body could also stem from lesions in other organs—for example, kidney dysfunction. In such cases, medications such as Huangkui capsules or calcium dobesilate tablets may be used under a doctor's guidance.
Weakness and soreness on one side of the body may be caused by poor habits, autonomic nervous system dysfunction, atherosclerosis, or other reasons. Targeted treatments should be selected based on specific conditions.
1. Poor Habits
Prolonged standing or sitting with incorrect posture can obstruct blood circulation, leading to temporary weakness and soreness on one side of the body. This can be improved through adequate rest and adjusting posture, with symptoms usually resolving gradually.
2. Autonomic Nervous System Dysfunction
High work pressure, anxiety, or tension may lead to autonomic nervous system imbalance, causing generalized weakness and soreness. It's important to maintain a balance between work and rest, relax the mind, and alleviate symptoms. Under medical guidance, medications such as Oryzanol tablets or Vitamin B12 may also be used for treatment.
3. Atherosclerosis
If a person already has hypertension and engages in long-term unhealthy behaviors such as drinking alcohol or staying up late, atherosclerosis may develop, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain and causing symptoms of weakness and soreness. Under medical supervision, medications such as aspirin tablets or low-molecular-weight heparin tablets may be prescribed for treatment.
In addition, weakness and soreness on one side of the body could also result from lesions in other organs—for example, kidney dysfunction. In such cases, medications such as Huangkui capsules or calcium dobesilate tablets may be used under medical guidance.
